  • Correction of E. Bazelon & J. Resnik Distortion of US Const.

    I am responding to an article by E. Bazelon & J. Resnik, reluctantly. I say reluctantly because I find it disturbing to have to correct a foreigner on their own country's culture, much less politics. The aforementioned individuals made the extraordinary claim that ''Obama should look when he makes his first appointments to the bench''. ...

  • The revolution wasn't televised, it was texted.

    Politics has changed. When I'm in Starbucks and see a gaggle of 15 yr old girls intently and knowledgeably discussing the differences between McCain, Palin, and Obama, the world has certainly changed from 2 yrs ago. They will stay involved with the real decisions that effect them, ask tough questions, and not be content with shallowness of ...

  • Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..

    ... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

  • Re: Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias

    Media bias is a perceived notion that certain press has and is pushing a viewpoint, instead of reporting news or airing programs in an objective way. That is the way I see it. Such bias often refers to media as a whole, such as a newspaper chain, or a given television or radio network, instead of individual reporters or writers of television ...

  • Why is the left vested in racism?

    Instead of seeking truth, the question an indoctrinated leftist asks, ''Am I offended?'' Economic variability across ''race'' is the major offence. Being offended makes the leftist a ''victim.'' Once the leftist has declared himself, herself or someone else a victim, then through Marxist reasoning, a victim can disregard rational thought and ...

  • Sexual Hypocrisy, Law Enforcement & the InterNET

    Thanks for a very interesting and thoughtful article that addressed current events, came up with new approaches, and put it all together neatly in one, entertaining article. My view on those folks who would employ our law enforcement authorities to charge and convict individual InterNET users, is somewhat different. I see these forceful, legal ...
